The Cowboys are favored by double digits in this game and have won four of their last five games, the only defeat in that stretch being a 44-30 loss to unbeaten and top-ranked Kansas State. Meanwhile, the Red Raiders have not won a game in regulation since its 49-14 win over West Virginia more than a month ago. That’ll change this weekend. They needed two overtimes to take down last-place Kansas last weekend but, led by Seth Doege, who leads the country with 34 touchdown passes, will squeak past Oklahoma State this Saturday in Stillwater.

Prediction: Texas Tech – 31, Oklahoma State – 28

Oklahoma vs. West Virginia. TV: 6 p.m., FOX

The Sooners need to win their last three regular season games, starting with this one in Morgantown on Saturday, to keep their hopes of playing in a BCS bowl alive. On the other hand, the Mountaineers have yet to clinch a spot in a bowl game of any kind. But Landry Jones, who moved past the 15,000 passing yards mark last week, will be facing a West Virginia team that has the worst pass defense in the country. Oklahoma wins convincingly this weekend.

The Jayhawks have come close this year. They haven’t won a game in Big 12 play in two seasons but five of their nine losses this season have come by seven points or less. That includes a six-point defeat against Oklahoma State, a four-point loss to Texas and last Saturday’s 41-34 double-overtime loss to Texas Tech. Iowa State has lost four of its last five games and is coming of a 33-7 blowout loss in Austin to Texas last Saturday. This will be Kansas’ best remaining chance to win a Big 12 game this year and the Jayhawks will take advantage of it.

Prediction: Kansas – 24, Iowa State – 21

Kansas State vs. Baylor. TV: 7 p.m., ESPN

The Wildcats are unbeaten and ranked No. 1 in the BCS standings for the first time in school history and need only two more wins to play for a national title. Look for Heisman Trophy frontrunner Collin Klein to have his way with a Baylor defense that is surrendering more yards per game (519.8) than any team in the country.

Prediction: Kansas State – 37, Baylor – 13

Sam Houston State vs. Texas A&M. TV: 2:30 p.m., Fox Sports Southwest

It’s been quite a week for the Aggies. They take down top-ranked Alabama in a thrilling 29-24 victory on the Tide’s home turf, thrusting freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel into the forefront of the Heisman conversation. Two days later, freshman wide receiver Thomas Johnson is seen leaving his residence and isn’t seen again until Thursday. Now, Texas A&M has to gather itself and prepare for a 8-2 Sam Houston State that is the third-highest ranked FCS team in the nation. The Bearcats held a second-half lead against Baylor earlier this year but shouldn’t give the Aggies that much trouble.

Prediction: Texas A&M – 41, Sam Houston State – 17

SMU vs. Rice. TV: 2:30 p.m., CBS Sports Network

The 5-5 Mustangs still have two chances to become bowl eligible but, with Tulsa, who has not yet lost in C-USA play, set to face SMU in its regular season finale, they might have to beat Rice this Saturday to get that crucial sixth win. Mustangs quarterback Garrett Gilbert has rushed for six touchdowns in his last three games — as many as he ran for in his previous 30 — and will be facing a Rice team he last saw with the Longhorns last season. He’ll lead SMU to win No. 6.
